Dr. Steven A Nerad, DDS

Our Beliefs
Kids are
special and so are their needs.
We make a difference.
Children's attitudes and habits about
dentistry are established very young. Their early dental care
often has a lifetime influence.
We are some of the luckiest people in the
world to have the privilege of working with children and lover
our work and the people we care for.
Dental Disease is an infection process not
just a hole in a tooth
The best dentistry is proactive and not
just reactive.
Beautiful straight teeth promote individual
self esteem, self confidence and success as well as better
dental health that help teeth last a lifetime.
We are committed to a lifetime learning to
bring you the most innovative, best and time tested dental care.
Our Goals
Create beautiful faces with
wonderful healthy smiles and excellent bites.
Develop a positive dental attitude
and great dental habits.
Create extremely satisfied patients.

referrals.

Various levels of
sedation are available for the comfort of anxious, young, and
special needs children. Unlike offices that either do not
provide sedation or those that have only one method, we can select
the best option for your child from our several choices. Options
include anxiety relieving laughing gas (nitrous oxide analgesia),
light oral sedation and in office intravenous sedation provided by
our anesthetist.
24
Hour emergency service is available for established patients.

your child develops a rapport and receives the benefits of
always seeing the same doctor.
